IMPROVEMENT IN EGG BEATERS AND MIXERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 151,784., dated June 9, 1874; application filed February 27, 1874.

To all whom "it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jncon F. LANDIS, of Harrisburg, Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Egg Beaters and Mixers; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full and correct description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an end view. Fig. 2 is a crosssectional view; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal stctional view, taken through as y, Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 is a view of the scraper.

My invention relates to a machine for beat ing eggs, either in large or small quantities, and also for agitating and mixing other ingredients for culinary purposes.

My invention consists in placing within a suitably-shaped vessel a revolving shaft, hav- These arms in their revolution pass between bars projecting from a longitudinal bar, running parallel with the revolving shaft.

A solid scraper may be inserted in the shaft, which, in its revolution, will clear the vessel of its contents.

In the drawings, A represent the vessel, resting upon suitable legs, and B its lid. \Vithin this vessel, which is cylindrical in the bottom, is a shaft, 0, revolving in the bearings c and c. The beariu g c is made rigid with the shaft but the bearing 0 enters the hollow portion of the shaft 0, and is secured therein by the pin 1). Extending from the surface of the shaft 0, in four or more directions, are radial arms or heaters to, the ends of which in their revolution pass near the bottom of the vessel A. Extending from one end of the vessel A to the other is a cross-piece, D, from the bottom side of which drop the bars 6, so arranged that'the bars a on the shaft (J in their revolution pass between them, and clear them of any adhering material.

To clear the vessel A of its beaten or mixed contents 1 place in holes 71 the legs 7; of the scraper I, one revolution of which raises the material from the bottom of the vessel, and facilitates its removal from the vessel.

To produce a rapid motion to the arms or heaters a I place upon the outer end of the bearing 0 the pinion n, which engages the cogwheel m, which may be relatively much larger than the pinion n. A crank, k, upon the shaft of the wheel m, will supply the necessary power.

The operation of my machine is as follows: Power being applied to the crank 7c the shaft 0 is caused to revolve, and the arms or beaters to pass rapidly through any material which may have been placed into the vessel A, violently agitating it and mixing it. The bars 0 being placed between the paths of the arms a, clear them of adhering matter, and prevent the mass, also, in the vessel from revolving with the beaters.

With my machine I can first beat the eggs necessary for a cake, and then add each ingredient in its turn, and finally, by means of the scraper I, turn it all out, thoroughly mixed, ready for the oven.

\Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

V In an egg-beater, constructedsubstantially as described, arevolvin g shaft and case, A, in combination with a horizontally-revolvin g scraper.

The above specification of my said invention signed and witnessed at \Vashington this 20th. day of February, A. D. 1874.

JACOB F. LANDIS.
